Farewell to BEARS 2021

After a final week in the museum spent photographing and cataloguing the many heaps of artifacts discovered in 2021, the final three members of the BEARS 2021 team departed Porto Rafti this morning. Despite all the odds we had a most productive and wonderful five weeks of archaeology: keep an eye on this space for exciting new posts covering the results of the season, additional photos, videos, and 3D models, as well as a new tranche of interviews with recent additions to the BEARS framily!

Speaking of recent additions, this year we were joined for two weeks by Denéa Buckingham, a very talented photographer and film-maker, who doubles as a ambidextrous underwater and terrestrial archaeological fieldworker. She took a whole raft of wonderful photos of the team at work on Koroni and Praso – be sure to check out our updated Photos and Videos page to see what we got up to out in the field this summer.
